When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain (2020)

Cornered by hungry tigers, Chih must tell a love story well enough to survive. The tigers keep correcting the human version. Vo turns the disagreement into a lively question about how a teller's loyalties change what becomes history. This is another complete Singing Hills story, readable without The Empress of Salt and Fortune. Choose it for a compact tale that makes the act of retelling its suspense, rather than merely supplying a frame.
